With roughly two weeks to the start of the first UK digital television switchover in Whitehaven in Cumbria, a new online Postcode Checker has been launched to provide viewers across the UK with essential information about the switch to digital television in their area.

The service at www.digitaluk.co.uk has been designed to provide viewers with details of when they will switch and what digital services and channels they are likely to receive – right down to an individual street.

I notice that the website doesn't mention Technomates or their like!!

That website is one of the worst I have come across. About as much use as a chocolate teapot.

It doesn't even list my local transmitter, only the one about 10 miles away :?

My local transmitter is about 1500 yds away from my house
